Mother's Day is nearly upon us and we wanted to take a moment to recognise all the mothers here. The expectant mums, the new mums, the mums who have experienced loss, the wanting to be mums, the step mums, the mums who are missing their own mums...here is your little reminder that you are incredible. A Mother's Day in a pandemic is not something any of us expected to be experiencing, but here's to all of you. The challenges you have faced over the past year have been immense, and we hope that you manage to take some time for yourself this weekend.

If you know a special mum who could do with the gentle reminder of how incredible she is, feel free to tag!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Love from the Mum, Midwife & Me Team x

We are led to believe that giving birth is one of the most natural things women do.
We may not feel supported when our experience did not go to plan.
We are pressured to feel grateful we have a baby, Counselling & Rewind therapy can help you come to terms with your experience.

Hi it’s Ellie (midwife and hypnobirthing teacher here). Just thought I'd pop on and tell you a bit more about hypnobirthing.

Have you heard of hypnobirthing? Not really sure what it is?

Hypno: stands for hypnosis.
Birthing: stands for antenatal education.

Hypnobirthing isn’t about the swinging of pocket watches or the snapping of fingers to make you go into a hypnotic state. Hypnobirthing is so much more.

We combine lots of different tools and techniques to help you and your birth partner prepare for all types of birth.

Some of the techniques we use include:
👀 visualisation
🧘‍♀️ relaxation and breathing techniques
🗣 positive language
💆‍♀️ massage

We help you prepare for the birth that you want ❤️

If you have any questions, please pop them in the box below.

Love the mum, midwife and me team ###

Happy Valentine's Day! Do you celebrate it or do you see it as just another Hallmark Holiday?

Whether you are a firm believer of marking Valentine's Day with roses and chocolates, or you're not, as parents-to-be and new parents, this year, it could be just the excuse you need to remember who you are as a couple.

There may be no champagne popping if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and you may be joined for the evening by your little baby, so things may feel a little different this year. But you can still mark the moment. You could take the prompt of Valentine's Day to sit back and savour the moment - despite the tiredness, despite perhaps not feeling your best, perhaps in pyjamas with milk stains and a messy mum bun, but whoa, just sit there....look at your baby, or bump. Look how much you have to celebrate. Look at what you have both created. Look how far you, as a team have come.

If you are not a Valentine's subscriber, that's fine. But every now and then we all need a prompt to connect with our loved ones, our partner, the other team member, and be thankful. So red roses and heart shaped balloons can come and go, but today, can you spend a bit of time together to be together?

With love from the Mum, Midwife & Me Team x
